Chapter Twenty-Five: The Upper City
Lin Lan suddenly realized, only then did she realize that she had done Grandma Liu once, and she couldn't help but have a little sneer on her face, but fortunately she couldn't see it with a veil.
After settling down, she said, "Yes, it's my first time here, let's go through any formalities quickly, I still have to enter the city." β
The defender answered, and hurriedly went to complete the formalities for Lin Lan, in fact, it was just to register her name, origin, and identity, and there was nothing special, but the moment she entered the city gate, she felt a strange aura fluctuation, but then disappeared without a trace, and the original feeling of disobedience on her body did not appear again. Thinking of what the defender said just now, as long as you come once, you won't have any trouble when you come back another day, I'm afraid that's because of this, right?
She walked all the way into the city, and found that the city was indeed bustling, much more prosperous than the imperial capital she had visited in the Nether. She couldn't help but sigh a little, slowed down, and savored the difference between the upper city and the next city.
It didn't take long for her to discover that if there was a difference between the two, the biggest thing was probably something related to cultivators. In the Netherworld, due to the lack of cultivation resources and the lack of aura, cultivation is a very rare profession, and there are not many people who can become cultivators. But in the upper realm, this situation has undoubtedly changed a lot, although cultivators cannot be said to be everywhere, but they can also be obtained, so in the cities of the upper realm, there are very many things related to cultivation, all kinds of pharmacies, weapons and armor shops, and there are also restaurants, tea shops, inns, etc., which are specially provided for cultivators, which is an eye-opener for her. And the people in the upper realm obviously have a lot more insight than the people in the lower realm, and when they see the cultivators, although they don't say casually, they are not so afraid, as if they have seen some great person.
She walked around the street. I happened to see an inn in front of me, the faΓ§ade was very beautiful and magnificent, and it was specially marked that it was for cultivators. She stood still and observed for a while, and found that all the people who went in and out of it were cultivators, and she was curious for a moment, so she walked in.
"This fairy, are you here to stay at the hotel?" As soon as the shopkeeper saw her, he immediately greeted her with a smile on his face, nodded and said.
Lin Lan nodded and said, "Yes." Do you have any spare rooms here? β
The shopkeeper smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, and replied without a word: "Yes, of course there is, I don't know how many classes you plan to live in, fairy?" β
"What class is it?" Lin Lan asked a little confusedly.
The shopkeeper hurriedly explained: "The fairy doesn't know, and our store is committed to providing thoughtful and meticulous service for all the immortals and fairies. As a result, the rooms are divided into three classes. The third class is a normal room, if you plan to stay for one night and leave. This room type is sufficient. The second-class room type is full of aura. Even if you stay for a few more days, nothing will change, and it will be absolutely fine for you to meditate and restore your spiritual power. The first-class guest rooms are all separate small courtyards, which are not only full of spiritual energy, but also defensive prohibitions, and there is also a small spirit gathering array specially arranged inside, which is more than enough for you to retreat there. β
Lin Lan listened. I can't help but be more interested. The owner of this inn didn't know who he was, but he was so business-minded and well-arranged, which was enough to meet the needs of the vast majority of cultivators. No wonder it looks so grand and the business is doing so much.
She said with interest: "Is there any space in the first-class courtyard?" Take me to see it, and if it's good, I'll stay with you. β
The shopkeeper couldn't help but be overjoyed, and responded continuously, calling Xiao Er, and then said, "This fairy, you can follow this kid to have a look." Small others dare not boast, but this room and service small dare to say that our store is definitely one of the best in the city, you see the quasi-guarantee satisfaction! β
Cultivators are generally richer than ordinary people, so doing the business of cultivators is the most profitable. It's just that even cultivators are divided into three, six, nine streams, not everyone is rich, their first-class rooms here are expensive, and there are not many people who are willing to pay this price, but once they meet one, they will make a lot of money! For this reason, he had to fool the friar in.
But he underestimated Lin Lan. Thinking that Lin Lan was a very successful businessman in his previous life, how could he not understand his little thoughts? But some didn't say anything, just smiled slightly, and followed the shopkeeper towards the backyard.
The further back she went, the more advanced the house was, and sure enough, as the shopkeeper said, it was divided into grades. And she walked through these rooms all the way under the leadership of Xiao Er, and finally came to a vast bamboo forest.
She didn't expect that there would be such a big piece of heaven and earth behind this, and she was sure that this was not the result of space spells, and she couldn't help but be a little impressed in her heart. If you want to have such a large piece of territory in a city, it is not something that ordinary people can do, and the boss behind this inn must have some means and background.
But it has nothing to do with her. The shopkeeper led her into an empty courtyard, and said with a smile: "This fairy, this is one of the best courtyards we have here, do you think it is still agreeable?" If you are not satisfied, the small one will give you another room. β
Lin Lan looked around, and saw that it was surrounded by green bamboos, fresh air, abundant spiritual power, and elegant and quiet, so she nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's very good here, I'll live here." How much? β
The shopkeeper was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Fairy, the daily rent of this class room is one hundred low-grade spirit stones, including the expenses for the forbidden use at the door, as well as the fees for the maids. β
A hundred low-grade spirit stones a day? Lin Lan couldn't help but be startled. This month, it will cost 3,000 lower-grade spirit stones, and the average sect disciple will only be rationed with five medium-grade spirit stones a month, which is equivalent to 5,000 lower-grade spirit stones, and more than half of them will be removed this time!
If you don't really have a lot of money, you really can't afford to live in this place.
But she is now wealthy, and she is one of the few "rich" people, and she can still afford this spirit stone. It's not that she's greedy for enjoyment, she mainly likes the seclusion and seclusion here, and the strong background of this inn can save a lot of trouble, so she decided to live here.
She took out a medium-grade spirit stone, handed it to the shopkeeper, and paid the rent for ten days in advance. The shopkeeper happily handed over Lin Lan the sign to control the formation, and went back. Other things such as cleaning and tidying are naturally in charge of the inn, and she doesn't need to worry about it.
Walking into the courtyard, she first activated the ban and took a closer look. This prohibition is just some popular early warning formations, as long as you have the control card of the formation in your hand, you can enter and exit at will, and there is no limit to who it is. She pursed her lips, turned and walked into the room, then set up another defensive formation in her room. The so-called defensive formation, the main defense is not the main attack, if someone does not notice and enters without permission, she can immediately find out and react accordingly.
After doing all this, she flashed into that mysterious space.
The outside layout is just to hide people's eyes, she is out of the house, without the protection of the sect, the only thing she believes in is her own mysterious space. There, no one can find her, and she can do what she wants with confidence.
As soon as it entered the space, the little Vermilion Bird jumped over and expressed his dissatisfaction, but Lin Lan didn't let it out. Lin Lan looked at it with a smile and said, "Didn't I tell you?" There are many powerful people in the Ethereal Immortal Sect, and it is hard to guarantee that no one will see through your disguise at a glance and find out that you are a Vermilion Bird. If that's the case, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you, what will you do then? There's no way around it, so don't complain. β
Xiao Suzaku naturally understood Lin Lan's concerns, but he had been bored here for a long time, and he felt very uncomfortable in his heart, so he shouted: "It's all your fault, your cultivation is so low, and your breakthrough is so slow, how could my mother fall in love with you in the first place?!" β
Lin Lan couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "That's a good question, I was about to ask this question too!" β
At the beginning, she was just a monk in the small Qi refining period, why did Suzaku fall in love with her as the "nanny" of the little Suzaku? There must be some other reason besides this mysterious space, right?
Little Suzaku pecked her head and said angrily: "Now that you are out of the sect, you should be able to let me go out, right?" β
Lin Lan looked at it with a headache, thought for a while, and said, "Not for the time being." When we get to our destination, I'll let you out. This is the realm of the human world, and if you don't want to be recognized and captured, you'd better endure it! β
Little Suzaku was furious for a while, but he couldn't lose his temper, so he could only snort and fly to the side sullenly.
Lin Lan looked at it and smiled slightly. Although the little Suzaku is a little noisy and arrogant, her nature is not bad, and she is extremely smart, and she doesn't need to spend much time on her lips.
She first went to look at the herbs in the space, and found that some of the herbs had died of old age, so she couldn't help but feel sorry, and hurriedly collected the ones that could still be used in the medicine, and then walked into the hut without caring about the other medicinal materials. She really didn't know how to take care of these herbs, thinking that since they had been growing here for so many years, they should continue to grow without much care, right?
After entering the house, she began to dispose of the medicinal herbs in her hand, cleaned them up, put them in order, and then walked out of the house again and took out the Dan furnace.
Since she took over the task, she decided to refine some pills and make some talismans to defend herself, otherwise she would just walk into that place with such a big grin, purely looking for death!
She waved her hand at the little Suzaku and said, "Come and help." β
Little Suzaku glanced at her, and immediately raised his head proudly, "No way!" I, Lord Saint Beast, wouldn't do something as inferior as lighting a fire! (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please read it on m.biquge.info. )
